Chapter 17
Dr. Dawson, his face full of awe, bowed respectfully to Serena. “Miss Serena, thank you for your hard work p>
Young Miss?
Since Serena had already cut ties with the Wynn family, what right did she have to be called that?
But Serena didn’t even lift her eyes in the face of their reverence. She just gave a lazy yawn, stripped off her gloves and sterile gown, and tossed them into a nearby medical waste bin. “I’m hungry p>
“How thoughtless of me. I’ll book a restaurant right away!” Dr. Dawson said quickly.
“Young Miss,” Alfred began hesitantly, “Mrs. Wynn just called me. After she heard what happened at the hospital, she figured you must be tired and hungry after being in surgery for nearly two hours. She’s been in the kitchen making some of your favorite dishes and was planning to have them sent over p>
Serena picked up her canvas bag and slung it over her shoulder with a cool, effortless motion. “No need to send it. I’m going home to eat p>
Alfred’s face lit up. “Excellent! I’ll let her know right now p>
With an apologetic smile at Dr. Dawson, he stepped into a corner to call his employer.
“Then I won’t keep you from your family reunion, Miss Serena,” Dr. Dawson said, taking the hint.
Just then, a nurse hurried over. “Director, the Blackwoods… someone from the Blackwood family is here p>
Dr. Dawson’s expression tensed, and he nodded.
He then looked at Serena. “The person you just saved is the Blackwood heiress. Would you like to meet them? I’m sure the family would like to thank you personally for saving her p>
“There’s no need.” Serena’s eyelids drooped lazily. “I was just cleaning up a mess for one of my people. I don’t need their thanks p>
Everyone around them was stunned.
Even Derek, his face pale, frowned in disbelief at Serena.
That was the Blackwood family of Vaelion City!
She had become their savior. She could have leveraged that to secure a relationship with them, guaranteeing her future would be carefree!
And she was just giving that up?
Why would she give that up?
With that connection, the Wynn family would have a chance to align with the Blackwoods and soar to new heights!
How could she be so stupid p>
Olivia, in particular, was so jealous her eyes were practically on fire.
That gratitude should have been hers!
If she had been the one to earn the Blackwood family’s favor p>
Her prospects, her future, would have been limitless!
Who did that little brat think she was, putting on such an act?
Suddenly, Serena’s gaze shifted, landing coolly on Olivia.
That indifferent look made Olivia’s heart clench.
Then, they heard Serena’s emotionless voice. “Dr. Dawson, it seems your Starlight Royal Medical Center will hire just about anyone p>
Olivia’s face turned white. She looked at Dr. Dawson in a panic. “Director, I p>
“Miss Serena, rest assured, I
guarantee you will never see het
this profession again!” Dr. Dawson said without even glancing at Olivia.
Serena casually stuffed her hands in her pockets. “I’m leaving,” she said flatly.
With that, she strode toward the elevator with the swagger of a boss.
Seeing this, Alfred quickly ended his call and hurried after her. “Serena, wait p>
Derek rushed forward, his eyes red as he stared at her. “How how do you know, traditional thedicine? When did you learn it? Why didn’t I
“What could you possibly know?” Serena’s eyes flicked up her clear
gaze filled with
ld mockery. In the past four years, did you ever once care enough to ask what did p>
Derek was speechless.
Of course… he had never cared.
From the moment Serena was brought back to the family, he had seen her as
nothing more than a country bumpkin, a useless, pretty face.
He, a self-proclaimed genius, naturally wouldn’t waste his time on someone like that.
Especially after Hailey was found.
All his attention had shifted to Hailey, and his disdain for Serena, the fake sister, had only grown.
Confronted by her question, he felt a pang of guilt and licked his dry lips. “Well… why didn’t you tell me sooner p>
The mockery in Serena’s eyes deepened, her sharp gaze cutting into him like a knife.
She chuckled. “Didn’t I p>
Derek’s pupils contracted, and the color drained from his face piece by piece.
